This certainly puts those not in a firm alliance (Bob, Susie, and Sugar) in a much better position.

I'm finding it hard to get into this season, even though it's already to the jury stage. They keep switching everyone around and when I start to like a side, they mix them up again.

Do you think Bob has realized yet that he's (still) on the far outside of the Kota Alliance? If (and it's a big if) the Kota group can stick together, they'll knock off Suzie first, then him. He's got to be smart enough to realize that. He's got to form himself a new alliance where he can get further than 4th place.

Kenny, who I used to not like, has proven himself to be quite strategic and a really great game-player. I LOVED how he called out Marcus on his "bullsh*t."

Matty just seems like kind of an idiot, along with Sugar. What was she whining about? Did she really believe Matty? I hope she doesn't apologize to Ace.

I just want Randy gone. The guy is an a**hole and doesn't DESERVE the win. He, like Susie, has done NOTHING towards winning the game other than tagging along on his alliance's coattails. Sure, he was good in the one polo challenge, but that hardly makes for a convincing case...

** SPOILER **








WOO HOO! As much as I wanted to see Randy gone, I love that this game is all shook up!

[Phyllis Rogers Stone]

Jesus. Randy really hates black people, huh? Crystal and "her boy" GC ran the game like thugs? For as annoying as I find Crystal, my god, that Randy is despicable waste of skin.

That said, I LOVE a good blindside, so good for them, especially Kenny. I vote him the "player who made a move that instantly changed their game!"

Oh, and since she uses the word about herself like a badge of honor, I feel not ounce bad when I said that that Corinne is a really effing bitch.

[jasonf]

Posted: 11/13/08 at 10:11pm

Corinne is a bitch, but somehow, I find her to be really hot. I have no idea why (though Sugar is still hotter). Anyway, I WISH they had taken Randy out - I can't stand another week of him being such a jackass! He is the quintessential curmudgeon. I'm surprised he's not shouting "Get off my dang beach, you rotten kids!"

[adamgreer]

YAY!!

I love how the plans of the Kota 6 are going to h*ll in a hen basket.

Corrine and Randy are the two most obnoxious players in the game, and one can only hope they'll be gone soon enough. I especially can't stand Corrine and Charley's nonsense about Marcus "deserving" to be there. And, I'm thrilled that Kenny called them on it. I'm actually really liking Kenny now.

Charley was creepy right to the end with his bizarre, scary crush (obsession, really) on Marcus. His wanting to get rid of someone because they "got rid of my Marcus" and then going on after being voted out about how now he "gets to spend time with Marcus" is frightening, especially for Marcus, I would imagine.


I'm starting to think that Kenny might win this game. He's smart, coy, and gets what he wants without p*ssing people off that much.

Ha HA! So true.

Yeah, Corinne and Randy are the worst. Randy has skeeved me out from day one, but every time I think he can't get worse, he does.

Bob is probably about the only one I can tolerate at this point (and has been for about the past two or three weeks). Sugar is marginally OK but obviously will be gone in a few weeks via blindside.

The rest are just vile. Most of the rest of the season should be pretty boring -- watching Randy implode not withstanding -- as it whittles down to four people, two of whom would probably last about 15 minutes in an actual survival situation.

Here's an idea for a twist next season: no twists! Go back to the original form. No hidden immunity idols, no tribal switches (especially not two), the merge is right where it's supposed to be and no other lame game manipulation moves meant to stir up things but usually making things be, as Time might put it, shockingly predictable.

Calvin, just sit back and shut up you. You and your boy AG think you can come in here and run thread like thugs!

I love how those crappy little players turned this game around. I was nervous that Sugar would go with Charlie and Corrine.

And Phyllis, I thought the same thing about Randy. When he called him her "boy" and they were a "gang". I was waiting for him to call her uppity.

[Calvin]

Posted: 11/14/08 at 10:11am

Similarly, I thought it was odd that Kenny felt he had to qualify his vote by saying "I'm not homophobic." (not on the episode, but on the full clips on the CBS Web site)

In fact, I wouldn't have read anything like that into his vote UNTIL he said that.

Randy casting his vote was just ick. "Bitch!"

[Calvin]

Posted: 11/14/08 at 12:02pm

Considering he appears to go nude next week, I might have to skip that episode! Although he'll probably be voted out, which will be worth watching.

[Mister Matt]

At this point, Randy bores me. He's become so predictably despicable, I just fast-forward any time he's interviewed because I can already guess what redneck rhetoric is vomiting from his hateful face.

Sugar is something of an enigma. You can't tell if she's really smart or really stupid. I'm thinking she's an opportunist with short-term memory loss. I thought she was all anti-Kenny because he made her cry about Ace or whatever, but now she joined his side to vote out Charlie? Her flipping yet again is simply more credit to Kenny and Crystal who have surprisingly taken over this game. I have to say, I love when the bullies start getting booted out by the geeky underdogs. And I'm afraid Marcus and Charlie were victims of the pretty-people curse. If an attractive person has any hopes of winning this game, they HAVE to align with the geeks. Period. Three or more pretty people in one pretty much guarantees they are going home.

And who would ever have imagined Susie winning individual immunity?? She's been saying all along how her strength was going to be her work ethic at camp. A strength which everyone apparently underestimated to their own shock and dismay. THAT was my favorite moment of the season thus far.

This season continues to entertain me... I love that the people nobody expected to last are taking control. And I love that the game keeps changing.

Can't stand Crystal or Kenny, although I have to give them credit for the way they're playing the game.

I have to wonder what they all think when they watch the commentary during the show... it's highly entertaining!

[Calvin]

Here's a reason to like Kenny less, as I suspected. You can just tell sometimes. From an exit interview with Charlie:

Reality TV World: Were you aware that you had angered [Ken "Kenny" Hoang] by stealing his Immunity clue during the feast? Was that a calculated move?

Charlie: I wasn't aware that I angered Kenny. I knew that when Randy, Susie and [Dan Kay] joined Kota on Day 10 they let me know that Ken, behind my back, had called me "homo" and "fag." So I knew it wasn't gonna be smooth sailing with Kenny but I didn't realize that I had rubbed him in such a wrong way that he really despised me in the way he did. I only really got to know him for about three hours, and in that whole three hours I might have exchanged maybe 10 sentences with him.

I didn't get to know Kenny that well, so I'm surprised that he had such animosity based on so little.

What a jackass. Of course, one wouldn't expect much social grace from someone who probably lives in his parents' basement so he can afford to play video games all day.

That's kind of a bland interview. They didn't press him nearly hard on enough on his creepy obsession with Marcus.

BEST. VOTE. EVER.

I now am rooting for Sugar, if only for the way she slapped Randy with that cookie.

My god, the second half of this episode may have been the best thirty minutes of Survivor ever. This jury is going to be one of the most vindictive and entitled ever!

I just LOVED the look on Corrine's face! You're next, honey!

I cant believe this is becoming my favorite season ever. The flipping is AWESOME!!! That really was the best!
